Selected major: Nutrition

If ‘dietitian’ or ‘nutritionist’ are on your career menu, add nutrition to your degree and graduate as a nutritionist or continue to our Master of Dietetics.

A nutritionist can implement programs and advocate for change within the food industry across advertising, research and product development; a dietitian creates meal plans for individual health needs and can work in clinical practice across sport and fitness, public health, aged care, product marketing, food sustainability or research.

Learn about contemporary lifestyle-diseases, food security and sustainability. Our hands-on, lab-based learning approach also takes you through metabolic and biochemical functions, biological, psychological and cultural factors impacting our food choices, the role of nutrition across lifespans and digital health.
Past students have completed industry experiences with tech companies and volunteered for Richmond Football Club.

Selected major: Chemistry

Learn far-reaching applications of chemistry, including forensic science, polymer formation, water analysis, the creation of new materials, agricultural chemistry, environmental science and analytical chemistry.

The Bachelor of Health Science/Bachelor of Science offers you the skills, knowledge and key theoretical insights required to work in a range of professional scientific environments and build a career promoting health and wellbeing.

You'll explore Australian and international health challenges. Examine the physical, psychological and social aspects of health in a variety of settings. And, learn about contemporary issues in health science, such as biomedical testing or health communication, and how to address them.

You'll also access laboratories and testing facilities equipped with the latest technology – Swinburne is the only university in Australia with MRI and MEG labs on campus.

Build up your CV with real industry experience while you study through our Work Integrated Learning programs, which are a guaranteed part of all our bachelor degrees and can include placements, internships or industry-linked projects. In this double degree, in the Health Sciences Project (HEA30001), and in three project units related to science, you’ll have the opportunity to apply your learning and work collaboratively in multi-disciplinary teams on industry-linked projects.
